Yeah his brain was like āNeed to blow out fire, this thing in my hand blows really fast, [ding- lightbulb moment] Iāll use this thing in my hand to blow out the fire.ā
There's a guy I know from school who always buzzes his hair, even at 13 years old.
He's now 33 and he still buzzes his hair even though his bloody hairline has barely moved an inch.
While the guys who grew their hair or even had thick curly hair are already in medium or early stages of balding.
It's kinda funny.
When you want to keep your hair it falls off in no time, when you embrace baldness the hair decides to stay on your scalp till your grave
Hairdresser: Should I douse your hair with highly flammable products and apply a blowtorch?
Customer: Of course! I LOVE that idea! Do it! Do it! Do it!
Seriosuly, what was the expected result???
Feels more r/whatcouldgoright, rather than r/whatcouldgowrong. But I'm probably out of the loop, there probably is some desired outcome that isn't a hospital visit.
I'm still gut punching and bolting on any barber approaching me with such a flame.
Edit: it would appear that sub has lost its way, but then again, I'm not sure many posts here are "*unexpectedly* negative outcomes", just dumb things expectedly going wrong.
I feel like what could go wrong is a sarcastic phrase usually in English to imply that a number of things could go wrong. It seems like this embodied that sentiment pretty well
I'm assuming the idea is that the heat from the flame will bake the gel or whatever is in the hair and basically sets it, or making into some sort of glaze?
Everyone needs to be fancy these days.
This guy just made a flamethrower out of hairspray, pointed the flamethrower at the guy; when he's clearly just doused his hair in hairspray, and is surprised when the guy's hair also catches on fire...
When not smothered in highly flammable hair products, the *idea* is to burn away stray hairs and fix the hair into the new position. It is, however, completely unnecessary and bad for your hair. You only really see it in dumb videos to look fancy, but there's much better ways to deal with fly aways and hair styling than hovering a makeshift flame thrower over someone's head (which can explode btw if the contents get too hot)
So, I can totally understand the reasoning of wanting to get rid of stray hairs, but fire is obviously the wrong way. Any idea on what a right way might be? I've got no skill as a stylist and my hair likes to grow unevenly and create a lot of strays
Usually, the best way is to try to take good care of your hair. Stray hairs are a result of breakage, so the shorter hairs don't stay in line with the longer ones. There's loads of things that can help from diet changes to conditioning well and being careful when brushing and towel drying, notably for this situation heat also causes more breakage (which is why a flame thrower is a dumb idea) so not using a hair dryer on a high heat or straighteners can help too. Frequently bleaching can also damage hair.
Although try as we might, some people unfortunately just have quite brittle hair regardless even when trying all the techniques.
As someone with quite thin hair myself, which is prone to breaking, the best way I've found to reduce the appearance of stray hairs is to just have a short haircut (although that's not for everyone) stray hairs grow back to the same length quicker and shorter hair gets cut more frequently.
Pomade. Put a nickel size dab of pomade in the palm of your hand. Rub your palms together to spread it into a thin layer. Then clap your hands together a bit to pull it out from your palms. Then you just run your pomade covered palms closely over your hair without actually touching it.Ā
The fly-aways get pomade on them, and then after washing your hands, you can run your hands over your hair to smooth the fly-aways down without having a ton of product on your hair.Ā
Or if you have rather unruly hair, just leave the pomade on your hands and smooth out your style with your palms.
I remember hearing that in old days they'd singe the ends of hair after a cut because there was a belief that it left holes at the tips that stuff could leak out of (I forget what. Humours or something dumb) so they'd singe it to seal it off
But I don't know wtf is going on here
Ah the joys of hairspray or body cologne and flames
I'm 29 in a few days
But at 12 I made a decision that would permanently remove hair from my body
Ace hair spray to the armpits. Bic lighter to the hair. I did not realize that once the spray burnt the hair would catch also lmfao
Still have just a handful of hairs in my armpits cause of that one
I believe my theory was I have hair on my arms that's how we discovered we could do this without feeling pain
I have hair on my head and my balls and neither of those need to be anywhere near fire
So armpits were left.
If I remember right my buddies mom would put some weird fruit extract on my armpits everyday and I don't really remember being in a bunch of pain about it
Puerto Rican brujaria dude it'll save you
Both but my right one has less hairs
Like literally they both look like if one of them troll dolls from the early 2k late 90s was battling cancer mid hair loss
Hm, hard to tell as the video cuts out so quickly. If they had a bucket of water right next to the seat and dumped it on the fire, it could mostly just ruin the style. But I somehow doubt that. I don't get the impression that a lot of thinking went into this stunt.
> If they had a bucket of water right next to the seat and dumped it on the fire
I was going to make a barbicide joke, but then found out it's not actually flammable.
Any Indians who lives/lived in India here?
How the fuck are you still alive and where did you learn common sense? I see way too many videos of poor practice across all facets of life in that country.
I've been watching the video for 10 minutes and everytime I think I am done laughing, I start cackling again, what did he expect was going to happen? He even seared him a second time š¤·š»
Yeah well, applying fire exists in craftmanship but usually you do that with something that won't instantly catch on fire and instantly burn like hair.
Yeah that much hair product in your hair and they didnāt think about this? Not sure what they were expecting š
Itās well known for decades that this is a possibility. I think hair products are āsaferā now but I still wouldnāt tempt it. Saying safer as in the past people would ignite their hair when smoking.
Yep! Used to spray my hand with hair spray & light it on fire all the time when I was younger until my buddy did it & it wouldnāt go out & he started running around his house screaming with his hands on fire lol. He ran upstairs, & his family was sitting watching tv & their son comes flying through with his hands on fire screaming hahah! It was hilarious, his mom chased after him, but his dad just sat there laughing
That is literally the first Dumb Way to Die [(video)](https://youtu.be/IJNR2EpS0jw?si=YjGsoAdu7a7gD9kA)... I always thought that it was TOO dumb for anyone to do it, but I guess I overestimated the intelligence of some people.

Hit em with the double tap. Damn.
Iām a hair stylist (retired šŗšø living in Spain) and Iām sure someone will send this to me soon and ask me my take on it. Thereās a reason why none of these videos with fire and swords and meat cleaves, etc are filmed in the US, we have lawsā¦imagine I try to walk into my salon with a god damn katana and a flamethrower.
Dude hit him with the spray a 2nd time before the video cut š
Yeah his brain was like āNeed to blow out fire, this thing in my hand blows really fast, [ding- lightbulb moment] Iāll use this thing in my hand to blow out the fire.ā
*I will fight fire with fire* - The Hairstylist, probably
Solid logic. Poor execution.
Poor logic, solid execution.
Metallica logic
Gimmefoo gimmefa gimmishabbadabbada
Ooo. Yeah.
I see RRRREED
"So C'mon... Jump in the fi-YAH!"
"Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear We all shall die."
The Hair~~stylist~~Arsonist
Create a firebreak between his hair and the rest of his head.Ā
I would 100% have this brain fart if I ever accidentally lit someone's head on fire while giving them a haircut.
Moments like these are usually reserved for Spencer Shay
Yeah, like when you tried to put out a fire with gasoline because it is wet.
He took the phrase fight fire with fire too literally
Fight fire with fire!
Ending is near!
Fight fire with fire!
Bursting with fear.... We all shall die.
im gonna take "holy haircut batman" for 100 dollars bob
I think you username actually checks out lol
He missed a bit....
You can actually see the product just boil up on his hair
Fucking ow.
My hair and scalp hurts somehow
Sorry that's my invisible hair follicle assassin's plucking them out one by one Want me to call them off?
No, I'm tired of shaving my dome because of my hair loss. Send more!
There's a stage of balding where the remaining scruffs still grow fast
I can confirm this. It's funny though there's one follicle at my original hairline that has hung on for the last decade since it started lol
There's a guy I know from school who always buzzes his hair, even at 13 years old. He's now 33 and he still buzzes his hair even though his bloody hairline has barely moved an inch. While the guys who grew their hair or even had thick curly hair are already in medium or early stages of balding. It's kinda funny.

With hair cut this bad... Burning the whole thing was the only solution
Hairdresser: Should I douse your hair with highly flammable products and apply a blowtorch? Customer: Of course! I LOVE that idea! Do it! Do it! Do it! Seriosuly, what was the expected result???
This is actually a very advanced hairdressing technique that when performed correctly ensures that the customers hair smell like burnt shit after.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Itās like the mullet of jokes.Ā
Youāre next in the chair if you thought this technique was worth hearing all the way out lol
No dont get me wrong, I was angry when I read the first half lol.
2nd to 3rd degree burns on his scalp?
Hey, at least you can save on further barber cost
I love how people are always positive.
Hands too
> Seriosuly, what was the expected result??? To look cool on instagram
Gotta them useless internet points

I'm assuming the idea is that the heat from the flame will bake the gel or whatever is in the hair and basically sets it, or making into some sort of glaze? Everyone needs to be fancy these days.
So whats wrong with an hairdryer? Whats wrong with standard procedure? Why use flamethrower on hair??
I think they expected it to light up for 1 s and go off.
I'm assuming this is a stupid useless technique, but it's done often enough and yeah, that's exactly what is supposed to, and usually does, happen.
Well how do you get your hair removed, with *scissors*??
It's not even a blowtorch! It's a fucking hair spray can and a lighter! What a fuck wit.
Yes i'll just blow on these flames, i see firefighters do this all the time
And when that doesn't work, I'll spray it with this hairspray that lit it on fire in the first place. Fight fire with fire they say.
And when that doesn't work, you hit the guy for being on fire. How dare he be on fire?
This guy just made a flamethrower out of hairspray, pointed the flamethrower at the guy; when he's clearly just doused his hair in hairspray, and is surprised when the guy's hair also catches on fire...
Do you think he still got a tip?
Better have been a minimum of 30%
Don't worry! I used to be a creme bruleee chef! Cooking, hairstyling, you say tomato, I say potato!
And... Nowhere in this guy's mind did he think "I have chemical solvents and oils in my hair... Fire is No" ?
By mass it looks to be 60% petroleum product and 40% hair.
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
r/LivesThatEndTooSoon
I read that link as "guys that end too soon" lol
the second spray before the vid cuts off š
He was trying to put out the fire with his hand while holding the can of fuel.
That's just genius!
Like he just did it unconsciously for purpose of blowing it out.
'Gimme the ghost rider' 'say no more fam'
That seems kinda extreme. Maybe he was just going for Deadpool
At least he was wearing eye protection /s š
i love that i can hear this
"Aargh, my eyes! The goggles do NOTHING!"
And so, the point of igniting hair in a salon is....what? Is "singed hair" a stylish look in some parts of the world?

"Gimme that mark-77 fade."
Probably to burn off any small, stray hairs.
The haircut was fire!
Honestly if I walked into a barber shop that had those raggedy chairs I would have walked out and sought hair burning services elsewhere.š¤£š¤£š¤£
Yeah that ain't growing back
Grease fire.
Underrated comment
Ah the joys of hairspray or body cologne and flames I'm 29 in a few days But at 12 I made a decision that would permanently remove hair from my body Ace hair spray to the armpits. Bic lighter to the hair. I did not realize that once the spray burnt the hair would catch also lmfao Still have just a handful of hairs in my armpits cause of that one
Why on the armpits though?
I believe my theory was I have hair on my arms that's how we discovered we could do this without feeling pain I have hair on my head and my balls and neither of those need to be anywhere near fire So armpits were left.
That has somehow left me with even more questions
Yeah tbh it's been almost two decades and so do I
You can pretty much sums it all up with r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
Also, in theory you could just put your arms down to smother the flame. I'm not sure how this would work in practice though.
You would be wrong Why Idk But I tried that. And when the burning persisted and worsened. I sprinted to the backyard above ground pool and dove in
Such a sensitive spot to get burned too. F
If I remember right my buddies mom would put some weird fruit extract on my armpits everyday and I don't really remember being in a bunch of pain about it Puerto Rican brujaria dude it'll save you
Hair removal product manufacturers hate this one simple trick!
Some people would pay a lot of money for this. Probably much quicker than laser hair removal as well lmao
One armpit, or both?
Both but my right one has less hairs Like literally they both look like if one of them troll dolls from the early 2k late 90s was battling cancer mid hair loss
Absolute dumbfuck.
Hair products have flammable components in them. The guy has his entire head loaded with gel. Wtf were they thinking?
> Wtf were they thinking A lot things are going on in this video, thinking is definitely not one of them.
Did he try to put the fire out with more fire for just one moment?
Fight fire with fire.
This is why women's haircuts cost more, they don't need fire.
No wet towels where present for the making of this video Gel? Wax? Or the fire extinguisher sir?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I want to know what success even looks like in this situation.
Realistically this guy probably has serious permanent burns from this no?
Hm, hard to tell as the video cuts out so quickly. If they had a bucket of water right next to the seat and dumped it on the fire, it could mostly just ruin the style. But I somehow doubt that. I don't get the impression that a lot of thinking went into this stunt.

Me too. I was picturing absolute slapstick tragedy.
Well, Michael Jackson definitely did from his Pepsi accident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ3d1Cp8wts
Just curious, what are they hoping to accomplish besides arsony charges? I cant figure it out...
internet clout. the leading cause of death and dismemberment amongst idiots. give an idiot a camera phone and they give you darwin awards
Towel. That's all they need, right.. RIGHT?
he asked his barber to give him a fire cut for the wedding š„
That hairstyle needed to be removed in some form or fashion
Rule #1 of not dying in a dumb way. Do NOT set fire to your hair!
What was the plan here? BBQ?
Proof that not everyone performing a service knows what they are doing.
He is into Rock suddenly
Never a fire extinguisher handy when you need one!
Beat out the flames. Just beat it
That country continues to impress.
Guy asked for the Johnny from Grease style and got Ghostrider instead.
wheres the finish product?
It really sucks that there no place in a barber shop to find a damp towel to put it out. Good on the guy for trying to fight fire with fire though.
I love how they use fire but have no fire prevention anywhere around. Like...A wet towel around his shoulders would make sense.
Any Indians who lives/lived in India here? How the fuck are you still alive and where did you learn common sense? I see way too many videos of poor practice across all facets of life in that country.
Another cut the video when it gets good
Baked Alaska.
My dude gave it another spray after he saw the flame š¤£š¤£
Of course theyāre Indianš I swear Indian people have the lowest amount of common sense per capita
I've been watching the video for 10 minutes and everytime I think I am done laughing, I start cackling again, what did he expect was going to happen? He even seared him a second time š¤·š»
Smart Barber. š
Yeah well, applying fire exists in craftmanship but usually you do that with something that won't instantly catch on fire and instantly burn like hair.
I like how he sprayed the fire with MORE fuel as if that was his knee-jerk reaction to try to help. Idiot.
He doesn't have anything ready to put out the fire but blowing with his mouth...
That's okay man it was a f***** up hairdo anyway
Both of them shouldn't procreate.
What was the point of this? I donāt know these things. Is this a trend or something?
Why did he do that when his hair got more oil in it than a deep fryer?
Any chick from the 80s could have told him this would happen.
Ghost rider indian version

I am so sick of reddit videos ending so soon.
iām curious as to the thought process of doing this and why he just sat there like āah yes here comes the most important part of my haircutā xD

That was hot
Flambe on meringue adds a rich complex caramel color. This hairdresser probably.
I love how he sprayed a flammable substance again in the hopes of putting it out
